LLB Architects joined Community Preparatory School for a dual celebration of the school's 40th anniversary and the opening of its new Arts and Athletic Center on Thursday, May 9th. The new building provides a gymnasium, arts facilities, and a much-needed community space for the school. The Cheers to 40 Years celebration was a perfect opportunity to inaugurate the new space!

Serving as a multi-purpose gathering space for Community Preparatory School’s full network of students, teachers and families, the new Arts and Athletic Center features indoor basketball and volleyball courts, an art gallery and display walls, performance and backstage production area, along with extensive storage space. The gymnasium can also be used for seating for up to 240 people together at circular tables for meetings or meals.

LLB has had a longstanding relationship with Community Preparatory School, an independent school for grades 4-8 in Providence that serves culturally and economically diverse students who benefit from a rigorous academic education in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Working with the school since 2005, LLB has supported the expansion of the campus through master planning, assistance with the purchase and closure of Somerset Street to create a playing field, an addition to their existing building and now a new Arts and Athletic Center.
